I have a ton of pictures on my new iPhone 5 already and would like to start organizing things a bit better. How hard is it to add a new photo gallery and move specific photos into that rather than have everything just jammed into "Camera Roll"?
I just got an iPhone 4s. Yeah, two days before the iPhone 5 was announced. Thanks, Apple salesperson for not bothering to mention I might want to wait a few days. Anyway, I have it now and am trying to figure out the easiest way to get photos off the iPhone and onto my Win7 laptop. What's your solution?
I take a lot of photos on my iPhone 4s and I like it as an easy camera. Add photo stream and they're even automatically uploaded to the Web, which is really slick. Problem is, after a few hundred photos, it's hard to keep things organized. Is there some way on the IPhone itself (e.g., iOS 4) that I can create photo albums and move some of my photos into those new albums?
When I plug in my Apple iPhone 4s into my Dell Windows 7 laptop, it automatically imports all the photos and videos into Windows Live Photo Gallery. It's driving me crazy! I don't want to use this particular program for managing my photos! How can I change it or, better, have Win7 simply ask me what to do when I hook up my iPhone?
Every time I plug in my iPhone to my Toshiba PC laptop running Microsoft Windows 7, it promptly tries to import all the pictures and place copies of them into "My Pictures". It's driving me crazy. How the heck do I stop Windows trying to import my iPhone photos?

There are a many reasons you should buy Create Great iPhone Photos by Allan Hoffman, but only one can be the Number One.
I've been a commercial photographer for about 30 years, brung up in the briar patch of large-format transparency photography. You've seen my studios similar to mine in movies and TV- hardwood floors, industrial building, big windows and people running around everywhere. And then there was the darkroom, brimming with hazardous chemicals in which we splashed and played. But I've always had an affinity for small-form factor cameras, beginning with the Canon AF35M (the first real point-and-shoot) and the famous Olympus XA. I've carried these small cameras around the world, and have created some of my favorite images on these. My latest site, JustTheCoolStuff.com is based entirely on small form factor cameras and the iPhone.
Then I got an iPhone [cue chorale] . It became immediately obvious the power this small camera has, especially when combined with the large number of apps available for post (or pre) production. Controls and effects photographers used to drink, drug and teeth-gnash to perfect are available in real-time and in very controllable (and uncontrollable) ways.
I dunno what the story is, but I can't figure out how to upload a photo directly from my iPhone 4 onto Facebook using the Facebook app. i don't want to email it to Facebook, I want to do it within the app. Is that even possible, and if so, how's it done?
My kids have learned how to do screen captures on my iPhone and now whenever they're playing with the phone, they're taking screenshots of what they're doing, be they games, checking my address book or just looking at a map. Cute, but darn annoying when my photo library is overrun with this stuff. Worse, it's tedious as hell to delete them, one by one, on the phone. Without resorting to my computer, is there any way to delete more than one picture or photograph at a time on the Apple iPhone 3GS?
One of the cool new features of the Apple iPhone 3GS is the ability to take videos. Nice, but I can't figure out how to get to the video camera? I know how to take photos, though, so I figure it's related to the iPhone camera (rather obviously, eh?) I have also heard that you can edit the video right there on the iPhone, but I don't believe it. I mean, isn't the screen too darn small?
